This site contains podcasts for German language learners in which two hosts discuss the week's top stories from Germany and around the world.
The site also includes language courses, in which students can explore grammatical features, common and peculiar idioms and phrases through dialogues, lessons and quizzes.
Structure and features
The 'News in slow German' website includes:
- a weekly podcast where the latest world events are discussed in accessible language
- a news page with articles in German

For teachers
This is an excellent resource for senior students. Teachers can set students the task of listening to the weekly podcast or choosing a news story, and using it as a prompt for practising discussion skills.
